Wrapping Up August

The fact that August is over is a little bit scary; to me July only felt like yesterday. Soon the summer will be over and (for me at least) it will be back to school, beginning my last year before going off to university. So I am currently digging out my school folders and wishing it was still August. I had a great month of chilling out and making the most of these last few summer days...

Books
-Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling- ★★★★★
-My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick- ★★★★★
-Passenger by Alexandra Bracken- ★★★✩✩
I spent the majority of the month reading Passenger which was a book which really dragged for me, I had high expectations so I was a little disappointed. But in between reading it I picked up The Cursed Child (of course) as well as My Life Next Door which I absolutely loved.  

Music
The songs I had on repeat this month-

• The Temper Trap- Fader
• Suga- Agust D
• Dodie Clark- 6/10
• Exo- Lotto
• The Vaccines- 20/20
• Lorde- Tennis Court (Flume Remix)
• Jungle- Busy Earnin'

Film/ TV

August was definitely the month that I fell in love with the film Dirty Dancing, so much so that I watched it twice in one day a few weeks ago. I am definitely one of those people who watches films on repeat (I can't tell you how many times I've watched Clueless), I wish my life was a rendition of Dirty Dancing.

I also went to the cinema to watch Suicide Squad. I am personally not a fan of DC, but was really intrigued by the premise of this latest film... The film fell flat for me and I feel that it wasn't very well made, but I enjoyed the characters of Harley Quinn and The Joker (yet without those two characters, I don't think the film would have had a leg to stand on).

I have two new TV obsessions this month which have taken over my life. The first is Community, I watch at least three episodes a day and I just can't get over how good it is. This show is so cleverly made and I can see it being a long term obsession. 

My other obsession is for the TV show Stranger Things (like everyone else on the planet), I finished it earlier in the month, but I still cannot stop thinking about it and I need season 2. I'm thinking of writing a whole post dedicated to this show because its truly amazing, (The best show I have ever watched?)

September for me is definitely going to be a quiet one, as of right now I have no plans, except school and work. I am hoping to make a few exciting plans for 2017 and to try some new things this coming month, making the most of the quiet time.
